First off, I'm comparing it to public schools. That's like comparing any normal person to that 'not quite right' kid named Ephrem.
Hey ya'll
A public schools' job is too pretty much prepare a person for a 9-5 job and not complain about it.
Hey ya'llSecondly, I've had pretty much no social life for the past 2 years. I have a few friends that I hang out every weekend, but during the weeks I'm reduced to sitting around browsing the internet and occasionally texting someone who I pick randomly out of my phone. Think of it like the big wheel on The Price is Right.
But the worst thing about it, for me at least, is that my mom has absolutely no idea what she's doing. The system I do is called ABEKA, which is a homeschooling system that teaches through videos of an actual class in a private school in Florida. It's a good system with one fatal flaw, if a student needs help, they have to ask their parents for it. While I would hope most parents know most of the criteria their children are learning, my mom barely ever does. When doing algebra 2, here is a normal conversation:
Me - "I need some help on this problem"
Mom - "Watch the video"
Me - "I did, but I still don't get it"
Mom - "Okay then..." *Looks at problem, book, and answer* "I don't get it. Here, look at the answer and work on it from there"
I have no idea how that is supposed to help me...at all, but I'm supposed to deal with it. Also, and I don't know how this one was thought through, my parents work ALL THE TIME. When we have to send our things in, it's almost always late and almost always a mess. Although I have good grades, it's because I'm a smart cookie, not because of my amazing teacher's skills.
Dayum, I better get back to public schooling soon. I know I said public schooling is idiotic, but it'll at least get me out of this crap.

Plus there is plenty of hot tail in public school! And, they are stupid! Its so easy! Hahahaha. For reals though thats an important issue and this is a very important time for you as well. I would tell your parents that you have serious concerns and that you want to explore other options.
